April 12, 2019
MY FATHER WAS BORN AUGUST 28, 1935. TO THE PROUD PARENTS PAUL AND MARY FRANKFORD MEASE GENTZLER. DAD WAS BORN WITH A OPEN HEART SO HE HAD TO STAY IN THE HOSPITAL OVER A YEAR. DAD WAS THE YOUNGEST OF 10 CHILDREN. HIS SIBLINGS WERE MARGARET ALICE, DOROTHY MAE, GLADYS LAVERNE, KATHRYN ELIZABETH, RICHARD LEROY, CLAIRE BERNICE, GEORGE CHARLES, CLYDE EDWARD, DOLORES JUNE GENTZLER.
DAD WAS ALWAYS A HARD WORKING GUY. FROM YOUNG TO HIS RETIREMENT. HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ANYONE. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY NO MATTER WHAT. SOMETIMES FRUSTRATED WITH THEM..........BUT HE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR THEM.
MOM AND DAD MET AT A BEAN SOUP FESTIVAL IN YORK COUNTY. THEY HIT IT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. MOM SAID SHE WAS PUSHING HER COUSIN IN A STROLLER. DAD SAID HE WAS PUT OFF BY THAT AT FIRST. HOPING SHE WASN'T TAKEN AND HAD A CHILD. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY.
